6 Nations

Starts today!
Personally I'm looking forward to seeing how the World Champions shape up without the likes of Wilkinson & Johnson, it will be good to see if the less experienced lads can fill the boots of the missing players & keep the continuity required to sustain a great dynasty. Here's the fixtures:

February 14, 2004
France v Ireland 14:00
Wales v Scotland 16:00

February 15, 2004
Italy v England 15:00

February 21, 2004
France v Italy 14:00
Scotland v England 17:30

February 22, 2004
Ireland v Wales 15:00

March 06, 2004
Italy v Scotland 13:30
England v Ireland 16:00

March 07, 2004
Wales v France 15:00

March 20, 2004
Ireland v Italy 13:30
England v Wales 16:00

March 21, 2004
Scotland v France 15:00

March 27, 2004
Wales v Italy 14:00
Ireland v Scotland 16:00
France v England 20:00

All live on BBC.

I think the last game could well be the decider again;)

Paul Grayson:)

England: I Balshaw (Bath); J Lewsey (Wasps), W Greenwood (Harlequins), J Robinson (Sale Sharks), B Cohen (Northampton); P Grayson (Northampton), A Gomarsall (Gloucester); T Woodman (Gloucester), S Thompson (Northampton), P Vickery (Gloucester), D Grewcock (Bath), B Kay (Leicester), J Worsley (Wasps), R Hill (Saracens), L Dallaglio (Wasps, captain).

Thompson has been passed fit, but Back has been axed from the squad for a lack of form. Shows a hell of a depth in squad if you can do that.

I think you'll struggle a little with Grayson playing, he's likely to stifle the game a little.

I think he'll only play for as long as needed in the Italy match ie. 'til we rack up a big lead;) Then Barkley will come on for him to get some much needed experience:)
 
Cheers:)

France 35-17 Ireland
Wales 23-10 Scotland

France looked pretty good in the 2nd half, they threw the ball about well as usual & scored some good tries. Michalaks kicking was a lot better than last time I saw him play;)

Didn't see the Wales - Scotland game so no comment:)
 
Robinson's got his hat-trick:)

Edit: Finished 50-9, a pretty good performance once we got into our stride. Thompson again looked dodgy in the line-out & better teams may be able to capitalise on that.
Italy have improved a lot & may well upset a team or 2, not mentioning any names;)
Graysons kicking from hand was excellent, he missed a couple of pens/conversions but most humans do;)
